I'm about 50 pages into it, nothing titillating yet, but soon. . .

But I wanted to respond to what someone said about not reading it, not her type of book. One of the things I love about being in a book club is that it forces me to read, or at least start, something that is maybe not my usual type of book. I've been pleasantly surprised sometimes, and read stuff I would never have picked up on my own.

It's kind of like going to college, at least if it's a college that is not a clone of your high school. You are exposed to lots of different types of people and trains of thought you may never have gotten to on your own. I think that's a good thing.
